As visible on the following archived page of the original broadcaster FX, season 6 had only 10 episodes and these 9 episodes were part of a 7th season called "Final Nine" (see the end of the URL) :

If you follow the link it is the official FX Network website which shows the 6th season was the final season with 19 episodes, also why the final 9 episodes aired only a month after the first half of season 6 ended.

We follow the original broadcast, not the way they are listed now.

If you want them listed as they are now, you can use an episode group.

Note : There are many series where the seasons are aired without break between them.

I watched this show as it aired there was never a season 7 there was a mid season break and came back for the final 9 episodes of season 6 a month later. What you’re getting your information on is incorrect. Thanks.

As indicated by the links provided, we got our informations from FX at the time of the broadcast. Consequently, these informations are the KING.

Ok it’ll just be incorrect I guess, no worries.

I quote a press release from FX published on December 1st, 2009 :

"Nip/Tuck, The Final Season, premieres on Wednesday, January 6. The final nine episodes of the groundbreaking series' seventh season will air consecutively on Wednesday nights at 10:00 PM ET/PT. The series finale � Nip/Tuck's 100th episode � will air on Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Guest stars for the final season include Melanie Griffith, Joan Rivers, Mario Lopez, Frances Conroy, Donna Mills and Joan Van Ark."
